Since the first publication of this book in 1952, the role of the controller has greatly expanded. It has moved from that of a simple technician who must properly process transactions to a business executive with a wide-ranging knowledge of total business operations, best practices, and corporate strategy. To address these changes, Controllership has evolved into a comprehensive guide to accounting management, planning, computer systems, and administration—in short, a repository for all the skills that a modern controller needs.
